Field trials to find and effective and ecological system for the control of the Fruit flies: the station MS2 and the attractant Cera Trap
The Med fly Ceratitis capitata has been considered for several decades as the major phytophagous insect in orchards worldwide, and in Israel particularly, due to the severe damage caused to the fruits. Taking into account that the pupae in the ground and the larvae hidden in the fruits are hard to control, the main efforts, as of the 60', centered on aerial applications for adult control. The leading product was Malathion, accompanied by bait. Malathion was banned for use in fruits for expor...
The objective of the present study consisted of determining the effectiveness of the product Armurox® of BIOIBERICA S.A. in the control of powdery mildew and to evaluate its paper as possible inducer of defenses in plants, using for it the melon-powdery mildew model patho-system. The treatment with Armurox® is able to control the disease through the activation of mechanisms of defense like the reinforcing of cellular walls, the production of reactive oxygen species and the increase in the ...
The trial had the intention to evaluate the effectiveness of the enzymatic hydrolyzed protein CeraTrap® with two types of traps and different attractants used by MIDA in its monitoring program.
The fruit fly, Ceratitis capitata, is worldwide notorious for their destructive impact on agriculture and is one of the most difficult pests to handle. The control of this pest has historically relied on pesticide treatments which are currently not well considered because of its toxicological and environmental awareness. At present, mass trapping techniques are one of the control methods used against med fly as an alternative to standard insecticide sprays.For some deciduous fruits, such as ...
